Some people seem to suffer from different symptoms of IC. Are there different types?
There are certainly many different types of Cystitis…and the symptoms that one patient experiences may be totally different to those of another, regardless of the exact cause. The same applies to the form of Cystitis that we refer to as IC; it affects different patients in different ways. IC patients are given this diagnosis once the other causes of cystitis have been excluded. There may well be different ‘types’ of IC, each with a different cause or trigger, but as yet we cannot differentiate one form of IC from another.
